小 S's story

My younger son was writing the list of friend names for his 8 year-old birthday party:

Matthew

David

Rohit

Kevin

…….

My husband side-glanced the list.

“ no girls?”

“ I don’t like girls.”

“ why not?”

“ girls too noisy. They cried no reason.”

“ you need to learn to make friends with girls. You will date a girl when you grow up.”

“ I do not date a girl, I date a woman.”

The whole family laughed aloud.

“ what is wrong?” my younger son asked confusedly.

“ nothing is wrong” tried to hold his laugh.
